More about the Friendship 33
Beautiful Friendship 33 with wing keel and scoop with wind vane now offered. Very clean and tidy and cared for by real water sports enthusiasts, now for sale due to health.
Now a story about the wing keel: The wing keel was designed in 1983 for the Australian America's cupper who promptly won the cup with it! The design was attributed to the Dutchman Piet van Ossanen although that is now denied.
The use of the wings is precisely that a shallower keel can be used because the keel as a whole becomes more effective. The wings counteract the flow at the bottom of the keel, making it more effective. (just like the wing-tips or wing-lets at the ends of airplane wings).
Under heel the lee wing also extends deeper and helps to limit leeway. A wing keel is in any case (at least originally) not intended to make it easier to fall dry, although that can of course be the case, but rather to sail better/faster within a certain measurement.
The Friendship 33 is a beloved Dutch sailing yacht, designed with a perfect balance between comfort, seaworthiness and performance. This specific model is equipped with a wing keel, which provides a lower centre of gravity and better stability, without compromising on draft. This makes the yacht ideally suited for both the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea, and for trips on the open sea.
Design and construction: The classic lines of the Friendship 33 remain timelessly beautiful. The yacht is built with high-quality materials and a solid polyester hull. The wing keel gives it extra lift in lighter winds and makes it possible to sail shallower waters — a great advantage for those who love varied sailing areas.
Sailing characteristics: The Friendship 33 is known for its pleasant and reliable sailing characteristics. The yacht responds smoothly to the helm, is on course and can also be handled well solo. Thanks to the balanced rigging and the wing keel, the ship is relatively fast, but remains comfortable and safe — even in stronger winds.
Interior: inside the yacht is surprisingly spacious and light. The warm wood finish and practical layout make staying on board pleasant for longer trips. Equipped with 2 sleeping cabins + saloon bench, spacious galley with stove, refrigerator and sink, wet cell with toilet and sink and plenty of storage space and good ventilation.
The Friendship 33 with wing keel is an excellent choice for the sailor who is looking for a reliable, comfortable and versatile yacht with pleasant sailing characteristics. Whether you want to tour quietly or make longer sailing trips, this ship offers security and sailing pleasure in all conditions. A versatile quality yacht of Dutch make with an excellent price/quality ratio.

Rigging
7/8 tower rig
I also recently switched from "classic" tower rig to a larger boat with 7/8 rig. It took some getting used to, but I am very happy with it now. The boat has much more sail for weight and boat size compared to my old tower rig and sails accordingly smoother, sportier, livelier and more fun.
In recent years, a lot of maintenance has been carried out and replaced, such as
— batteries
— mattresses
— rigging
— equipment
— stir
— furling jib/genoa
— LED lighting
— starter motor
— the saildrive cuff
— the screw
— engine water pump
— mast support
— keel plates and bolts
